Similarly to the creatinine blood test, creatinine clearance, as mentioned above, is another test that is used to assess kidney function. This test measures how well the kidneys filter out creatinine over a given period. Instead of a blood sample, creatinine clearance is usually determined from a...
(Burke and Eastman, 1974;Burke and Shakespear, 1976). Furthermore, if a given study design includes different age-sex classes, correction of TH concentrations with creatinine can systematically bias results, because urinary creatinine concentrations vary by muscle mass, age, sex, andhealth status(...
Results. Differences between CrCl-E and CrCl-CJ are rather small as opposed to the large differences with CrCl-J. However, two compensating errors in the CrCl-J calculation result in a closer agreement with CKD-EPI eGFR, than between CrCl-CJ or CrCl-E and CKD-EPI eGFR. The explained ...
The results from group 2, using fresh urine samples examined without delay, confirmed this relationship (Fig 6) as did the correlation of urinary ammonium to standard bicarbonate and creatinine clearance (Fig 4). The small elevation of blood pH (within the normal range) observed in the patients...
In Section 2, the HCMV dynamic model is presented and relationships between its state variables and parameters are explained. The controller design and Lyapunov stability proof are formulated and described in Section 3. Simulations and numerical results for primary and reactivation cases, required contr...
1). However, the lipid profiles did not exhibit straightforward increasing or decreasing patterns in relation to the UACR; instead, they showed ambiguous and nonlinear relationships that could not be easily explained (Tables S1, S2 and Fig. 1). Figure 1 Gender-specific linear trends in lipid ...
However, if spot urine P/C ratio is >20 mg/mmol (0.2 mg/mg), or >50 mg/mmol (0.5 mg/mg) for children under 2 years of age, or the urine test results are abnormal (e.g. hema- turia, leukocyturia, active urinary sediment), persistent proteinuria or proteinuria of clinical ...
Study drug dose rationale15 is explained in eMethods 4 in Supplement 3. The lowest dose was chosen with predicted trough plasma concentrations below the assumed effective concentration. The middle and high doses were chosen based on trough concentrations reaching or exceeding, respectively, the ...
index is determined by age, gender, Kt/V for urea, and pre-dialysis serum Cr level. These two indexes are objective and do not require special techniques or experience but are instead easily calculated by routine blood test results obtained at the bedside. Furthermore, both have been shown ...
Finally, the weaker associations and less consistent results among men might be explained by a relatively low number of male participants (type II error). Possible explanations We did not explore possible mechanisms. It might, however, be speculated that low serum creatinine mirrors low muscle mass...
